Note to readers: This blog is primarily for my own personal use, but without you guys(and girls) to help keep me on track and helping out, this would be much more insurmountable task, so thankyou to all the readers, and please dont be afraid to ask any question you want, this is more of an open journal than a blog it doesnt just have to be about poker!
I've been a regular user of pokerstrategy since I registered back in 2008, it took me about 6months of being a freeroller /busting the free $50 before I became a winning player. Since then i've been using poker winnings as a means to an end; paying for much needed equipment, living expenses, lots of partying and some great holidays.
I've had a number of small projects that I openly completed on pokerstrategy, here are the links so you can get more of an idea of what i've been up to.
poker lockdown - lockdown
poker lockdown 2 - goal setting for a lazy poker pro
nl200 50k hand stake - 50k hands nl200 headsup rail thread
Nl600-1k 3 month stake - 3 month 600-1knl stake
Now I feel its time to start taking it up a notch and really start building a big fat bankroll and holding myself accountable infront of lots of readers seems like the perfect way to do it. Please note this blog is first going to be a 30 day trial, If I like the way it goes I will continue with regular
updates.
My poker plans for the forseeable future are the following:
Short term:
Play 1k+ hands per day headsup nl for 30 days
play 2k+ hands every Friday headsup nl next 5 weeks
blog thoughts/ feelings each day for the next 30 days
Mid term:
Be Properly bankrolled for nl1k headsup ($30k)
Increase bankroll to $100k
Long term:
learn Plo, see if I can just learn headsup (probably get coaching to fastrack progess)
Add plo headsup to the grind
make plo main game
Right now I only have a roll for 100nl but I will probably apply for another stake on some sites to play nl100-1k. First i need to get hold of my biggest % backer of whom i still have money from an earlier stake and see if he'd still be interested. Then I will open a formal application on pokerstrategy. Until then I will be playing nl100/50.
As stated earlier I plan to use this blog as more of an open journal, so obviously my life isnt just poker and I have a number of goals outside of it.
The ones I am tracking over the next 30 days are learning spanish, learning basic programming languages, Strength training and posting whenever I have a junk meal rather than healthy ones.
Short term:
hit 100 duolingo points per day + 1 pimsleur audio
1hour per day of code academy
Convict conditioning workout each tuesday + Friday
Eat 4 Meals a day with 70%+ being healthy
Mid term:
Be able to hold basic conversation with girlfirends spanish family rather than singular words and pointing (LOL)
Open my own website, look at ways I can get decent traffic flowing on it
reach the next stage of convict conditioning so i can add learning handstand pushups and bridges
hit a healthy BMI (currently massively underweight)
Longterm:
Fluent spanish
Have my own high traffic website
be able to do 1hand prison pushup, 1 arm pullup, 1 leg squat for reps and Handstand pushup
Look lean + mean
If all goes to plan I'll reward myself with a trip to Spain first a week at the spanish beach de los atunes Zahara, then onto a big spanish music festival arenal sounds.

Keep up the good work... If you don't mind I'll add you as friend...
